I have searched a lot for this, but have been unable to find much info. Does anyone know what it would take to enable Auto rotate for the lock screen? I have tried several builds and themes and many auto rotate the home screen, but none that I have found auto rotate the lock screen. My issue with this is I keep my g1 on my desk with the screen up, and I like to keep it in landscape because it fits better when I plug it in. The problem is that every time the screen locks it goes back to portrait when I wake it up again. Then I have to pick it up so that it will go back to landscape. If anyone has any insight on a solution please share. I hope the reason I haven't found any threads about isn't because it is just a check box in the settings somewhere. Well actually I hope it is, but I would still feel dumb.
If this thread isn't appropriate for this section let me know and I will delete it. Just on a side note, is there anyway we could get more appropriate post icons for the forum? Maybe an icon for a post that contains a rom, one that contains a theme, one for a general development question, etc. It just seems kind of silly to use a smiley face or a thumbs up/down here.
how bout using one of them home apps in the market.. i remember either open home or ahome kept gettin on my nerves about what u are talkin about
Dxtop is my fave and did what ask on every but the. Ion build . God I hated it cause when u take it out of your pocket the phone would be in the the process of flipping oriantation and on some of the buggyer builds this would lag horribly (yes my spelling sucks)

I use aHome on the Ion Rom right now. aHome seems to have no effect on the lock screen though. If my G1 wasn't lying on its back it wouldn't be a big deal, but for some reason every time it locks it reverts to portrait. I just wish there was a way to make it not default like that. Its not a big deal, I wouldn't go back to RC33 to get the feature back, but it is a little annoying.

Are you saying that dxTop will auto rotate the lock screen on non Ion builds? I would definitely switch to cyanogen's rom if that's the case.

To my knowledge None auto rotate the "lock screen". I believe that the above posts are not reading your post correctly seeing how they are talking about Ahome and OpenHome home replacements.

i agree, ive used every home replacement out there, none of them do anything to the lock screen, the lock screen is completely seperate. Maybe a dev could make lock screen (hopefully not like a iphone like some devs have) that would accomplish this for you. Maybe ask in the application section to see if anyone is working on such a app, and if not, you may be giving a developer who is looking to develop an app something to work on.

That's too bad. I am just surprised that this doesn't seem to bug anyone else. I just don't know enough about the inner workings of the G1 to figure this out. Is the lock screen an app or is it controlled by the launcher? I just wish I could figure out why it worked on the pre cupcake JFs, but doesn't work on any post 1.5. I don't want to cross post, but if you guys think this would be better in the Apps and Themes feel free to move it.
As a workaround, you could enable the setting that prevents it from sleeping while plugged in which will also prevent it from locking.
Well... I figured that if you had the launcher and lock screen rotate, the phone might waste battery power while you're not using just rotating on every movement... This would probably also prevent it from going into sleep mode.
Not that that's the real cause, it's just my own reasoning. (It made more sense in my head. lol)
I know that it USED to autorotate the lock screen on the earlier haykuro G builds. Or was that the early non-cupcake jf builds.... I can't remember...

well my g1 spends alot of its time either in my pocket, or in a dock, both of those are in portraite mode, thats why it hasnt bothered me, but i see why it would bother you
I suggest using Droidsans Tweak Tools from the market and checking system wide auto rotate. That is the only thing I have ever seen rotate the lock screen. That's what you're looking for.

wow didnt think about that, i havnt used droidsans since early jf builds lol, good looking out man
Yeah I know, auto rotate was the only thing I used droidsans for but since the newer builds already have that option I dropped it lol

That is what I used to use pre-cupcake on the JF builds. After cupcake that tool stopped working. Anyone know if there are any cupcake builds it works on. I tried it last week on Ion and it didn't work.
--edit 2--
DroidSans Tweak Tools v0.87
"Auto Rotation Status: Bad Version"
DroidSans doesn't seem to work with JF1.51
--edit 1--
looking into droidsans... also want this ability
--first post--
In the past two weeks I did some reflashing (JF1.51, Hero, Ion, and back to JF1.51) and have noticed the lock screen not auto-rotating while the keyboard is closed. I was sure this used to happen prior to two weeks ago (while I was on RC33 and JF1.5) but really can't be sure. You might want to ditch these newer builds for a while and go get RC33, maybe that ROM does it.
To paraphrase: I thought this was supported and over the last couple of weeks, flashing several newer ROMs, I cannot be sure anymore that auto-rotate of lock screen ever existed. Maybe RC33 has it.
I'm also interesting in having this lock-screen-rotation enabled.
So, now that people have figured out how to enable Navigation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582656), how about the Eclair CarDock?
bogdi1988 was able to install it by modifying the prop file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4921107&postcount=201), but it won't run yet. Has anyone else tried it?
Thanks
it installs with the prop, but it fails to start. it gives 'force close' and that's all.
as soon as i put original props, app deletes itself. i shell-ed in the phone and it was missing from /system/app folder and also from the Settings - Application page.
i guess we need an app that is de-odex-ed... or w/e it's called... (it's late here)
I also got it to install with the prop on my MT3G but when i revert back to original props the app is missing
I also installed under new prop files and then reverted back to old, car home still remains for me... of course, this is completely useless as the app force closes just like for everyone else.
you guys stil trying? =P
java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #25: You must supply a layout_height attribute.
I'll look into this but probably incompatibility due to it being the 2.0 sdk
first thing no idea what im talking about but droid have magnetic dock/sensor so would u have to change dock code from mag to accelerometer
I checked, there are no android:layout_heights missing anywhere. 99% sure this can only be run on a phone with 2.0 frameworks then. Besides, all the packed graphics are for WVGA and would have to be scaled down.

not entirely sure if they could do that as it would launch everytime the phone was tilted but they should be able to remove that code alltogether. The software comes with a shortcut that can be placed on the desktop and launched just like an app.
Since the stood has a bigger screen then the dream and magic is possible that the only problem is resizing the resolution to be compatiable with the dream n magic

I know the G1 has a compass which is a magnetic sensor. Don't most Android phones have compasses?

Interesting idea. A quick check with a rare-earth magnet shows a clear order-of-magnitude difference on the magnetometer, as you'd expect. That seems like a more significant code change, though, since you're adding a conditional check on the magnitude of the mag field.
Already a metal detector app on market
seems way more feasible to work via shortcut.

Any progress for Dream?
I'm able to run the Car Home (CarDock.apk) on Cyanogen 4.2.8.1 (ADP1), although the 'navigate to' voice commands don't work (needs map update?).
Here's the apk I used: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/apps/CarDock.apk
Does anyone know where the magnetometer is on the G1/ADP? I want to test the auto-switching without running a magnet all over and potentially damaging it.
Does anyone know exactly which version of bg4all to use with Manila version 2011.3626.
The background on my phone looks very bad quality, and I can't find a good bg4all to use.
I have one that works, but there are so many versions, it is getting very hard to keep track of them.
Anyone got any news if bg4all will be updated for 2011.3626, or which old one to use?
Sorry to bump this, but which one is best to use guys?
I am using "grzegorz10 B4all Leo 2.02" on Sense 2011 and it does work. Though the background isn't of great quality...
Grab the cab in this topic.

Ok. Thanks mate. Yeah, that's my problem. I like the backgrounds to be the same quality as stock, and they just aren't. It's a real shame
As most chefs remove the wallpapers, it means we need bg4all, which, although it's great, leaves us with an extra program installed, AND lower quality wallpapers. Defeats the purpose I think.

Use this one for Portrait and Landscape: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615072&page=11 or HDwall
I think it should work
I use the 2.07.531.6 test rom im only in landscape with Music and Photos&Videos tab. I tried 20 different cabs but no luck so far
The problem is always i get a piece of black, even when using larger size pics...
The black bar must have something to do with the newest version of Manila. As I never had this problem before.
I doubt it's anything to do with the size of the wallpaper either. As that should just automatically rotate based on the background.

Hi Guys
I dont know if I posted this in the correct forum if not i am sorry but are there any Android developers here that can make this type of Android App?
multifl0w com
This would be nice for Android I would be willing to beta test and to purchase it if anyone makes.
Thanks.
hmm i dont see why not... i remember an app in WM exactly like this.
i believe it was called TaskFacade, since we can already figure out all the running apps... taking a screen shot and making it smaller shouldn't be a problem...
but i'm no developer.. but with Android, anything is possible..
Second that- I'd love this features!
Would any developer here like to take up this task? I would be more then happy to pay and beta test it.
Not quite as polished but have a look at this:
http://phandroid.com/2010/08/24/visual-task-switcher-brings-visual-frills-to-app-switching/
awesome, did you make this?
Visual Task Switcher is ok, It could be a bit better, like having a close button directly on the card.
I wish I could figure out how to get the screenshot of running apps.
It looks like a solid app, I bought. I think the developer should add more windows, something like the Palm Pre. That be totally awesome. Also make it so that when double tapping the screen instead of the home button.
I was looking for mediascape or timescape for x10 to install them on a new ROM but i didn't find them.... so, I made a back up and tried to install on a new ROM and they worked fine for me ..
DO NOT INSTALL THE TIMESCAPE PROVIDER...I INSTALLED IT AND NOW I CANNOT USE TIMESCAPE..

Does anyone know if timescape and mediascape are a work in progress for the froyo rom? I actually used mediascape more than the camcorder and would really like those features back. I'm excited about how fast the hotfixes and new betas are coming out so i have no problem waiting. Just curious if anyone is looking into this. Thanks

TS and MS will never be added to FroYo.It has been mentioned many times dude
Youve seen how much Time SE needed for 2.1 Update and most of the People dont even like TS or MS so if it wasnt so much work it would be possible already here for 2.2 but not all like it or dont need it much and this would take Months just for this 2 Programms so thats why its never will happen.
Don´t forget about the ARC. I think when this phone is released it will not take long until these 2 Apps are also available for the X10 for 2.2!

Sent from my Darkstyle x10i
i have a problem, i installed both apps, the apps are running, but i cant activate my email in this, the apps crashed, why?
can u just install them all like regular apk. or do they have to be copyed and paste somewhere else
timescape is a battery drainer and it serves no practical usage at all (apart from listing a contact's information in one 'card' including messages, fb, twitter, etc.)
mediascape - it's a quite good music app but the picture thing is just a PITA, not too user friendly
in my stock rom i've installed the shortcuts on the original android gallery and music player which is also pre-installed on X10 but hidden away by sony.
